The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has stated that he has no crisis with Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State, contrary to widespread reports of political tension between the two.
Wike also clarified that he does not support the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Monday, the former Rivers State governor said Fubara had allowed himself to be used by political opponents seeking to fight him indirectly.
“I don’t have any crisis with him (Fubara). I’m not the President who declared a state of emergency; if Mr President had called me, I wouldn’t have agreed to the state of emergency,” Wike said.
